The Kevolution

Kevin Lawson is a rock star. He walks in a room and you think "don't take your eyes off that guy, he's probably about to do something very cool." Because that's what rock stars do, apparently.
A few months ago we finished working on his new record. I have to say, it was one of the most fun projects I've ever produced. Kevin's voice is unreal, his songs are great, and most importantly, he doesn't take it too seriously. We had a blast and just tried new things and attempted to take the music to unexpected places.
This meant Paul Eckberg played guitar as well as drums, Aaron Sands played french horn as well as bass, and each song had about twelve tracks of background vocals. Oh yeah.
The record is just about out now and you can order it and listen to some tracks here at Kevin's MySpace.
Here's a song called Joined at the Heart he was kind enough to let me share with you, as well...
(I put up some photos a few months ago of the four-guitar trick we used on this one, if you remember...)

So, there it is: My plug for my friend Kevin. Thanks for checking it out and helping to support another great Nashville artist.

WOAH! A wall of guitars indeed! I wish my voice had that much gravel in it. Do you have to smoke to sound like that? LOL. The breakdown reminds me of Chicago, especially the horns. Oh, yeah...Viva la Kevolution!

i heard he's getting the best freaking webmaster in the world to create his new website...so i looked into it...and it turned out to be a rumor. instead he's getting some hack named allain to put it together. poor kevin.
Yeah, poor him. ;)
Hmm...I don't know. It sounds ok. But honestly not my type of music. That's neat he gave you permission to play that song, though.
Smelly jelly. I like it. Kevin's vibe is a little reminiscent of
David Gray, no? This is a project I may consider buying if the other songs are this good.
